Tripping the Life Plastastic

Brands and bands and one shiny distraction
After another and another.
Ersatz prefab bonhomie
As familiar as it gets
Makes and markets itself as our lives
As we clutch it to ourselves
Starving for connection community identity.

You and I will grow old
In the bosom of these creations
And speak the jabberwocky of the moment
As we wither and dry in the passing of time.
